Splatoon 2[b] is a 2017 third-person shooter game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It was released on July 21, 2017, as a direct sequel to Splatoon. As with the previous installment, Splatoon 2 consists of online multiplayer (player versus player and player versus environment) alongside a single-player campaign, all featuring combat based around ink. An expansion pack for the single-player mode titled Octo Expansion was subsequently released as downloadable content (DLC) on June 13, 2018.
The game received generally positive reviews upon release, with critics stating that Splatoon 2 retained what was great about its predecessor while adding new features to keep the game fresh, while criticizing the game's online matchmaking and how its voice chat is restricted to the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app.
As of December 31, 2022[update], Splatoon 2 had sold over 13.6 million copies worldwide, selling more than twice as many as its predecessor and making it one of the best-selling Switch games. A sequel, Splatoon 3, was released on the Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2022.
